Kojak Variety



Kojak Variety (1995) Elvis Costello

One of my favorite EC records, plus it led me to buy Bonnie Raitt's album Takin My Time to hear her version of "Everybody's Crying Mercy"- she's got a lot of good songs on that record.

I want the Rhino re-issue of KV- look at all the excellent covers listed up there- I've heard some: "Ship of Fools" from a Grateful Dead tribute album, the Beatles's "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away", and the Springsteen song "Brilliant Disguise", and what I really wanna hear "The Dark End of the Street" after hearing Frank Black do it on his Honeycomb LP.
